THE DROP
Saliva drops “Sadistic Love” — the fourth single off *Breaking Through*, landing August 14 via Judge & Jury Records *†. Bobby Amaru says it’s about being addicted to the thing that hurts you, styled like a 2000s hard rock radio cut with dark, moody guitars tapping into their *Every Six Seconds* era *†.
WHAT TO KNOW
- First full album since 2023’s *Revelation* (they did a deluxe reimagining in 2025, but that doesn’t count) *†
- Judge & Jury is the label founded by producer Howard Benson and Three Days Grace’s Neil Sanderson *
- Amaru’s been fronting the band since 2011; founding guitarist Wayne Swinny died in 2023 *
- They’re touring this summer with stops at SeaWorld San Diego, Portland, Seattle, and festival runs at Rockville and Sonic Temple *†
THE TAKE
If you miss the band that gave you “Your Disease” and a Grammy nod, the described sound here — dark guitars, toxic relationship lyrics, early-2000s vibe — checks the boxes *. Four singles deep and they’re leaning into what worked twenty-five years ago, which is either exactly what fans want or proof they never left 2001.
